I don't really have the expertise to answer your
questions (never strayed into the territory you are
in), but: your offer of help to work on the driver is
greatly welcome to users like myself.  We have very
many people using the driver, but very few developers.
 The driver works well 99.99% of the time for 99.99%
of the users, but there are certainly improvements to
be made.

If you have not yet looked at the source, you can get
it from:
